Nakakanbara District, Niigata
Nakakanbara (中蒲原郡, Nakakanbara-gun) was a district located in Niigata Prefecture, Japan.
As of 2003, the district had an estimated population of 20,066 with a density of 79.29 persons per km2.
The district started to shrink after the town of Nuttari merged with Niigata and the city continued to absorb the district.
Three towns later gained city status during a 10-year period: Niitsu in 1951, Gosen in 1954 and Shirone (part of Niigata) in 1959.
